Alt mode looks good, seeing those pictures he should be a Decepticon that sucks energon out of autobots. Even though Ive pulled my diaclones out in anticipation for him, unfortunately overall this does do too much for me. He'll probably be cool to fool around with once in hand, but excited is not a word I can use. Whatever repaint excitement I had, I used it up on mp-40

The face sculpt is dead on with the G1 toy. It may be that the eyes are proportionately too big and high up on the (overly long and gaunt) face compared to a human, but it's this creepy factor that appeals to me with this figure (and makes him look evil too).
